Where will it be available? Web version → AinsGigs.com (progressive web app so it feels almost like an app on your phone too) Android app → Coming to Google Play Store very soon after beta (Planning iOS later if traction is good — but let's not get ahead of ourselves 😂) Here's a glimpse of the kind of clean, modern dashboard vibe I'm aiming for (inspired by current best practices in gig/freelance platforms): dribbble.combehance.net And yes... many late nights are happening (the glamorous life of a solo dev with 1.9M bank debt hanging over his head 😅): dreamstime.com355 Programmer Work Multiple Monitors Stock Photos - Free ...
